Just days after announcing he would run as a Democrat against Republican State Senator Robert Cowles of Allouez in a possible recall election, Rich Langan drops his bid.

In a statement, Langan says, "Due to an unexpected family situation, regretfully, I am unable to run for state senate at this time, but I will vigorously support a strong candidate to replace our current senator who voted to close our public schools."

GREEN BAY - A longtime Brown County politician says she will challenge State Sen. Rob Cowles, R-Allouez, in a possible recall election.

Nancy Nusbaum made the announcement today.

"I thought I was retired, and I thought I was in a supportive role helping other people, but I care as passionately about the things we have built here as anyone. I feel a very personal stake in a lot of it, and I just can't stand by and watch it be dismantled," said Nusbaum.

Nusbaum, a Democrat, is a former Brown County Executive. She lost a primary election in 2006 for the U.S. House of Representatives.
